HOME // DRINK: The Bloody Mary

Bloody Marys are the ubiquitous, all ages (well, all ages after 21+) drink. They can be dressed up, dressed down, made gourmet, or made with canned tomato juice. They’re the hair of the dog at brunch the next day. These days every moderately upscale bar and brunch place has their own spin on the drink.

Some bartenders stuff whole stalks of celery and string cheese into their glasses while others keep it simple with a few olives. I usually like my bloody mary pretty basic but this recipe from 101 Cookbooks using greek oregano and yellow tomatoes sounds perfect for the end of the summer.
